Koliva is a prominent music group known for its unique blend of contemporary folk with traditional Black Sea music, hailing from Turkey. The band's name, "Koliva," is inspired by a traditional dish of the same name that is shared among community members during collective mourning or remembrance ceremonies. Koliva's music strikingly encapsulates the rich cultural heritage of the Black Sea region, incorporating indigenous instruments, rhythms, and melodies into their work.

Their discography is imbued with emotive storytelling and distinct regional influences, which can be felt in the passionate verses and the resonant strings of folk instruments. With songs like "Hüzün Dalgası" and "Dağlar Ağlayun Beni," Koliva captures the essence of the Black Sea spirit, characterized by a deep sense of melancholy and a profound connection to nature. The acoustic renditions of their tracks, such as "Liligum (Akustik)" and "Ben Denizde Bir Gemi (Akustik)," offer a more intimate and raw interpretation of their music, allowing the plaintive vocals and the rich acoustic arrangements to shine through, thus reaching a broad audience that spans beyond their regional roots.
